Can a common supplement unlock the brain's link to menopause blues?

NCT ID NCT06238700

Summary

This study is trying to understand how a natural hormone might be connected to depression in women going through menopause. Researchers will give some participants a dietary supplement (pregnenolone) and others a placebo to see if it changes certain brain activities and repetitive negative thoughts. The goal is to learn more about the biological causes of depression during this life stage, not to provide immediate treatment.
